Imagine this: It’s the First Century A.D. You’re an unmarried teenage girl. And suddenly, you learn that you’ve got a baby on the way. In that culture, an unwed mother would be a huge scandal. Your reputation would be ruined, and you would probably be a social outcast for the rest of your life. That was the situation Mary faced when the angel told her she would give birth to the Messiah. And yet, she called herself blessed. Pastor J.D. is reframing our understanding of biblical blessings. It’s part of our series called, God With Us.
